It’s all ‘Ova.

Villanova’s magical run to the NCAA Final Four ended with a thud Saturday night.

The truth is they just played a better team.

Jay Wright’s Wildcats did the one thing they really could not afford to do against powerful North Carolina. They fell behind early. Down by double-digits in the first half, the ‘Cats scratched their way back into it, and actually closed to within five points early in the second half.

But instead of pounding the ball inside as they had done in putting a physical beating on UCLA, Duke and Pittsburgh, the Wildcats tried to finesse the Tar Heels, firing away from outside.

They were at the mission of their shooting, and their shooting failed them.

Doesn’t do a thing to diminish the kind of season the ‘Cats had.

Bottom line is that if they play North Carolina 10 times, I’m thinking they probably lose eight or nine of them.

Jay Wright has laid the foundation of greatness on the Main Line. Villanova is set to be a perennial contender for a long run in the NCAA Tourney.

For this year’s seniors, including Dante Cunningham, a job well done.
